“We want every stakeholder, every individual and company in Manicaland to participate and be part of this pageant which unveils the beauty of Zimbabwe, the beauty of Manicaland.
“We believe we have what it takes and we are optimistic that our models will make it to the national finals. So the 2nd of June is the place to be at Golden Peacock Hotel for the provincial finals,” said Buwu.entertainment

MASVINGO – The Zimbawe Karate Union (ZKU) has taken 28 Zimbabwean karate athletes to the two-day Region 5 Karate Championship which kick-starts on Friday, June 01 in Botswana.
The athletes are of different age groups; from children in the 10-11 year age range to the seniors of around 24 years of age. Seven are females and the team also has eight officials who are non-athletes.
The team’s technical director, Gerald Muusha said his team was going for glory and was hoping to bring back many medals.
“I can promise that we will pose a strong challenge to whoever we will meet in Botswana and we will bring back gold medals and raise the Zimbabwean flag high,” said Muusha.
He revealed that the union was facing financial challenges since the corporate world was failing to come in to support them.
This, he said, was forcing athletes to dig into their own shallow pockets to travel to such events. He however thanked AfricaBet which he said was doing a lot to support them.
“Our biggest challenge has always been lack of financial support from the corporate world. Yes, we have AfricaBet which has supported the team over the years but the load is too big for one organisation. Many thanks to AfricaBet and the media for the support,” said Muusha.
The athletes were selected across the country after making it from their respective provinces.sport

Well done MDC-T

But can someone tell me the truth because izvi zvekusweronyeperana hazvina kwazvinotisvitsa as a country. Those who really know me can confidently tell you that I am one of the ladies that always tell the truth; ndinonzi mafirakureva ini.
Mapombi has been suspecting and doubting the law qualification which our good President is said to have acquired from the University of Zambia or somewhere there.  It’s not because Mapombi is jealousy of our President having such qualifications but some of the decisions he make baffles Mapombi big time – they fall far short of the expected wisdom and intelligence of a real lawyer.
From what Mapombi heard from her grandfather, the Whites used to give certificates to Blacks who would have shown passion for a certain profession; for example kana munhu akaratidza idea yekugadzira mota aibva atopiwa kaCertificate keMechanics, vekubika vachipiwawo zvavo zvinoenderana navo. Mapombi suspects the same could have happened to our good president ndobva vangopiwawo ravo certificate probably because then he showed a lot of legal understanding and able to interpret the law. That’s what I think zvangu, and of course many people will dismiss me vachiti ndopenga but mind you vamwe vakaudzwa hondo nemurwere wepfungwa. After all I am not mad but I am in this situation because of Mnangagwa and his Zanu PF – I never thought I would survive by rotten bananas and maputi nekuti kudzidza ndakatodzidzawo chose.
But a whole lawyer creating unconstitutional commissions and boards, and worse crowding them in his office, the office of the president kkkkkkkk haya.  Mapombi heard there is a new organisation which was created in the office of the president to fight corruption Kkkkkkkk seka zvako Mapombi of the unknown totem hehehedaa-aa huri-iii!
Fighting corruption in the office of the president or is it fighting corruption from the office of the president. Ko ZAAC yana Nguni yozoita basa rei nhai Mr President? Is this a confirmation that our ZAAC is indeed a toothless dog which is only used to fight factional battles?
The people of Zimbabwe were expecting that ZAAC would one day question Mpofu; at least questioning kwete kumusunga but Ooops guess what happened? Even the president was convinced that the not so obedient son should be given the Home Affairs ministry so that he could control the police instructing them who to arrest and who not to arrest. Kkkkkk new dispensation iyi inga zvakaoma.
Anyway, zveZanu handingazvigone izvi but I have a word for PC Rugeje; Mapombi is very sure the former military man has learnt from MDC-T how primary elections are conducted.  Or if Rugeje does not want to learn from MDC-T how primary elections are conducted, he should then at least swallow his pride and go to Savior Kasukuwere ambodzidzisiwa one or two things by his feisty predecessor.
Mapombi heard Kasukuwere is now back in the country to become a farmer. Kkkkkk really? I don’t think so, I think this is just the entry point so that akatadza kusungwa ozotanga hake kushiringinya.  Or the guy could have sold big time for him to be easily accommodated by the Lacoste faction. I heard videos of Dr Amai are being leaked since Tyson came back home. We shall see.
Mapombi, however, would like to salute MDC-T for at least holding peaceful primary elections this week. They corrected from their foiled attempt to impose candidates especially in Masvingo. Mapombi is also happy for her brother Godfrey Kurauone, Daniel Mberikunashe and Richard Musekiwa who retained their wards – congrats my councillors! If Mureyi and vana Chanyau kana vasingade kushanda nemi ndezvavo izvo. At least you showed them kuti munodiwa nevanhu.
It’s almost lunch time guys let me go ndindokanga zvangu maputi angu for lunch. By the way, I heard that Kasukuwere might lead NPF in the not so distant future. Kkkkk nhaka tichaonesa zvedu. Mapombi cannot wait to see uncle Bob vakarova regalia at a rally to campaign Zanu PF which he ruined for 37 years. Uncle Bob succeeded in destroying Zanu from within.
But on a more serious note; those who have extra jerseys may you please donate one or two to Mapombi because chando chinobuda nemu rwizi rwunonzi Mucheke umu hachisi kuita. I heard some guys talking hanzi gore rino mapenzi anofa nacho chando ichi and I got really worried as I started to think about my grandpas at Mucheke Old People’s Home and Pioneer Cottages as well as my young sisters and brothers at the Alpha Cottages. May we please spare a thought for them. Let us donate chero mabhachi emubhero iwayo veduwe.
Aah ko munoti akashata here mabhachi aya? Mapombi saw two guys from the black gate varipo vachikotama vachiedza those jackets – I am sure that is why they are usually referred to as guys in cheap suits and dark glasses kkkkkk pamabhero havabve. Kkkkk pamberi nebhero!
But before I go, those from Bulawayo is Cde Mphoko still there? Is he safe? Is it true that he is linked to NPF? Is he still donating chicks and incubators? Ko pension yavo yakazobuda here yavaichemera? Ko mwana wavo doctor uye akazopiwa here salary yake kkkkkkkkkk.
Mboko imboko!mapombi

Accident victim looks for help

Kundai Maganga

Brighton Chiseva

MASHAVA – A local woman whose hands were broken in a road traffic accident in June last year is looking for help from well-wishers so that she can pay medical bills and send her children to school.
Due to the injuries she suffered, Kundai Maganga, who is 35 years of age, is no-longer able to work for her family.
Her hands were broken in an accident involving her scotch cart and a motor vehicle along Mashava – Masvingo Road.
Her husband, Gabriel Dhambukai, also sustained internal injuries and he still suffers from the pain since he could not afford proper medical attention.
“I am appealing to well-wishers who can help me to go for treatment. I have been in plasters since June 2017. The last time I went for a medical review was in December and the X-rays showed the joins were still not in place. I am long overdue for another review but I don’t have money to go back.
“I relied on farming but now I cannot work for my family. I can’t even bath on my own, feed myself so I rely on my daughter for most of the things I want to do. She was supposed to be in form one now but because of fees, she is at home,” said Maganga.
Maganga says she has nine children who include three sets of twins. Her eldest child was supposed to be doing form four and the youngest was born in January.
She said the driver of the car that collided with their scotch cart did not even take responsibility for the accident and has offered nothing. They, however, managed to take him to court and the case is still pending.
Aspiring councillor for Masvingo rural Ward 5, Aleta Makomoke said she was touched by the plight of the family and called upon well-wishers to help.
“More than a thousand dollars are needed. I will do my best and I am calling upon those who can do something to come on board and help,” said Makomeke.health

As Young Voices funding closes

…Gweru stakeholders urged to continue disability advocacy


Tinaani Nyabereka

GWERU – Stakeholders in the Midlands province disability lobby have been urged to scale up their advocacy despite the end of the Young Voices project funding initiative.
Speaking at a project evaluation meeting last week, Young Voice project officer, Juliet Muzondo said as the project funding stream closes, all institutions and stakeholders who have been involved in programmes should continue their work.
“As you are aware, the Young Voices funding from the Embassy of Finland has now come to an end but this should not be the closing down of Young Voices. It’s just the project funding. Here in the Midlands, many stakeholders have been engaged from education officers, district administrator and chiefs to city council and the media.
“We urged them to further utilise the engagements and continue with advocacy work to help educate society on the issues at hand,” said Muzondo.
She bemoaned the discrimination that people with disabilities still face especially in rural areas, saying in terms of information and personal development, they still lagged behind.
“I am glad to say Young Voices in Gweru has also taken disability advocacy to the rural communities such as Chiwundura, Lower Gwelo and surrounding areas. There are however some gaps that still remain because in rural areas, people have less access to information.
“We took the initial steps of engaging the chiefs but we are now able to engage the people directly in their communities. We thank the traditional leadership because it supported the move,” she said.
Muzondo urged the media to help educate society and accommodate people with disability so as to integrate them in all developments since they have rights like anybody else.
The Young Voices initiative, a Leonard Cheshire Disability global initiative, has spearheaded disability advocacy projects across the globe and in Sadc countries.local

Mapeza gets tough

ZVISHAVANE – FC Platinum coach, Norman Mapeza challenged players and supporters of football that they should not expect only strikers to score goals, saying it was the responsibility of every player on the field of play.
Speaking to the media during a press conference on Tuesday, Mapeza said any player, especially starting from the midfield, should be hungry for goals.
“I have often heard people saying we don’t have strikers in the country. If we put that burden to the strikers only, then we are removing the other players from the equation. I believe for a team to be compact, everyone from the midfield to the front should contribute,” said Mapeza.
The ‘Pure Platinum Play’ gaffer praised his boys for a splendid performance against Dynamos in which they beat the Harare giants by two goals to nil.
Mapeza said he was humbled by the way his boys played in Harare.
“I am happy with my boys’ for such a performance. It’s not easy to collect maximum points away from home especially against such a big team as Dynamos. We, however, are now focusing on the match against Nichrut on Thursday.
“I have respect for every coach in the premiership. There is no small team in the league. John Nyikadzino (Nichrut coach) has done very well in the league, he has collected 13 points so far which is not bad for a team that is just joining the league. Given that fact, we can underrate Nichrut at our own peril,” said Mapeza.
The FC Platinum coach also said there was no much injury scare in his camp except for Rodwell Chinyengetere who suffered a relatively slight injury during the Dynamos game.
Mapeza, however, said Chinyengetere did light training on Tuesday and will be finally assessed on Wednesday for the Nichrut game.
Mapeza also urged his boys to score as many goals as possible during this first half of the season as he predicted a very difficult second half of the season.sport

Hungwe hints own death

Beatific Gumbwanda

CHIREDZI – Minister of State for Masvingo Provincial Affair, Josaya Dunira Hungwe has said he has had enough of politics and will retire after the general elections that are expected to be held between July and August this year.
Speaking during the official opening of a 4.1 km tarred road built by Chiredzi Rural District Council (RDC) in Hippo Valley on Tuesday, Hungwe said he just wanted to make sure that President Emmerson Mnangagwa wins the elections before he goes to rest.
“The main issue is that we have to campaign for ED in order for him to win this coming election. Soon after his victory, I will retire from service because there is nothing more I still need on this earth so if he wins, I will retire and leave for heaven.
“People should vote for Mnangagwa because he went to Davos, he deserves another term of office,” said Hungwe.
He also urged Zanu PF members who lost in the party’s chaos-marred primary elections to accept defeat, unite and win a landslide for Mnangagwa.
He said the outcome of the primaries should just be accepted because the problem could be have been caused by a bigger problem in the system which needs time to be sorted out.
“Elections were reported to have been rigged across the country. Many people were found missing in the voters roll and you don’t have to take it personally because it was the system. Those you are blaming might not be the trouble causers,” said Hungwe.politics

Gutu woman busts husband about to wed girlfriend
Precila Takabvirakare

MPANDAWANA – There was drama at Gutu Magistrates’ Court recently when a married man was found by his wife just about to exchange wedding vows with his secret lover.
Acting on a tip off that her husband, Dzingai Chagwiza, was going to be at the court to wed a divorcee identified as Precious Dube, Queen Vondo rushed and hid herself near the court waiting for the couple to get inside to take their vows.
When the couple were about to take the wedding vows, Vondo  showed up in court and threw her marriage certificate and her four children’s birth certificates at the magistrate, Victor Mahamadi.
The magistrate stopped the wedding and took Chagwiza, Vondo and Dube to a separate room for confirmation of what had been produced in court.
It emerged at the court that Chagwiza had abandoned his wife and four children for about six years and was now staying with Dube in Old Location.
Chagwiza claimed he had divorced Vondo a long time back and had given her a beast as her divorce token (gupuro).
“I gave her a divorce token so that she could freely go back to her parents’ home. I do not see any reason why she came here to stop the wedding,” said Chagwiza.
However the magistrate cancelled the wedding and ordered Chagwiza to follow the right divorce procedures of cancelling his first marriage before he could register another one.court
